Whichever box you do buy I would recommend a box with at least two tuners.
There are enigma 2 boxes that have a single satellite tuner, some with
2, some with slots for 4 (or more). They will be at different price points.
What LNB do you have? The sky Q wideband type LNB don't work with Enigma
2 boxes, and possibly all 3rd party boxes except 1 or 2 Freesat banded
boxes. You need a universal dual/quad/octo LNB or a unicable LNB
